flat_screen_flexible_asuIn Part II of our showcase of flat screen technology innovation, we focus on efforts at Arizona State University’s Flexible Display Center to create a truly flexible, paper thin, durable, energy efficient flat screen display.  Prototypes at ASU are excellent, but what is yet to be seen is how and when they will get these displays mass produced into consumers hands (hopefully in the next 2-3 years).
